Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIla

In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggrayating forms.
At enc time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exnding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting TO behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Loekport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the serofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees. and
beautifully less do not know what it NAV
have done for others, but do know that in
my ease, Hoods SarsapafilIa has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence Of
my gratitude 1 send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. Ron-

London's Misery.

The depth of London's misery was illus
trated by two scenes witnessed this week,
writes London correspondent. One was at
Billingsgate, where gratuitous distribution Of
food was being made, and the distributors
were wisely entrenched behind iron bars.
Brawny men fought and struggled against
the bars for sodden pudding and muddy
soup until they were torn and bleeding.
while women and children, who were unable,
to get near, sat on the curbstone and cried
hopelessly. Another was at dinner given
by the ST. Giles Christian Mission, where the
criminal classes were invited to come and
satisfy their hunger. At the door scores of
honest men, who had never seen the inside
Of a prison, accused themselves of crimes of
all sorts in order to gain admission. only to
be elected by the attendants. who were not
slow to discover the story Of fraud by the
hungry, honest faces and horny hands.

1t is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents Into the,
stomach, in the expectation that they will
assist digestion by acting on the food itself.
They will not. Nor is it possible thus to
overcome dyspepsia. The only way to con-
quer that disorder, and prevent the numer-
Gus diseases and disabilities which it ASSURE
eddy provokes, is to renew the activity Of
gastric action by strengthening the stomach.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters eradicates the
most inveterate forms of indigestion by re-
storing vitality to the alimentary organs, and
those which are tributary to them. The
liver, the bowels, the kidneys and the.
nerves, ne less than the stomach, experience
the invigorative effects of that standard ton :.
ic, which possesses alternative properties that
greatly enhance its beneficial influence, and
give a permanence to its effects which they
would not otherwise possess.

A CHASTITY pantomine, recalling to mind
Poe's narrative OF the gaIvanizing Of num-
my, was enacted recently in Paris at the
Practical School Of Surgery, where the bod
les Of two criminals, Frey and Rivierc, were
placed at the disposals Of the surgeons to
experiment on. A number Of experiments
were made, among them the following. To
re-establish the circulation in the several
heads, the'veins were injected with blood
taken from living animal. The skin OF the
face, previously livid. became charged with
color, the lips recovered their natural red,
the cheeks filled out. irregular movements
agitated the skin and the faces resumed the
appearance Of life. Electric currents were
passed through the facial nerves, and the
contraction of the face were noted. There
were, however, no results indicative Of any
restoration to life or consciousness. The
nerves shortly ceased to betray any sensibili-
ty and IL was evident that all perception and
sensation were at an end.

0uin and the wiltshire Ghost.

Quin and Ryan were once on jour
ney in Wiltshire, says Mr.. Gait. in his
Lives of the Players" when alighting
at an inn where they proposed staying
all night they were told by the land
lord that there was not room empty
in the house except one which he could
not recommend 10 them for particular
reason. They desired TO be shown il,
and, finding one of the best apartments
in the house, inquired the reason he
night. "Why, gentlemen, to tell you
the truth, it is haunted"
"Pshaw!" said Quin, "if that's all,
bring ms bottle Of your best, and get
us supper as soon as YOU can" The
landlord acquiesced, when the travel
ers, having made a hearty meal and
drank their bottle each, began 10 think
it high time to 60 TO bed. "Ay," said
Quin, "but we must dispatch this same
ghost first, or perhaps we may have
a troublesome guest when we're asleep"
So saying he drew his pistols, charged
and placed them upon the table before
him, when, having called for an addi-
tional recruit of wine, "Now," said he,
I'VE are prepared" Twelve o'clock
struck, but no ghost had yet appeared.
though presently rumbling noise was
heard in the chimney. The rafting Of
chain soon became very distinct, and
figure, whimsically clad, descend ed
and made two or three motions without
Offering any violence. Hereupon Quin
took up pistol that was ready primed,
and expostulated to their spiritual Wis
itor. "Look We, Mr.. Ghost, if you do
not Immediately acknowledge yourself
TO be of human species, by c. I'll
make ghost of you'll" The phantom
was too sensible to remonstrate, and,
falling upon his knees; roared that he
was master of the adjoining house, and
had contrived an opening in the CHM
ney through which he made his way in
that shape in order to terrify the hosts
guests and prevail upon him TO quit the
house, that he might supplant him. So
ingenious an explanation saved the
ghosts life, but not his reputation, for
the master Of the inn being called mp
and discovering his neighbor To- be the
evil spirit, the latter was never able to
show his mortal face again in the neigh
